Bulwark of Light

Chapter 833 The Container of God
The fire of the dead illuminates the spiritual space.

After a brief silence, Shen Li's reply left Gu Shen speechless.

"Second place? Is there anyone earlier than me?!"

"..."

"Who is that person?"

The little iron man rolled his sleeves cursingly.

"Mu Wanqiu."

After Gu Shen uttered these three words, the little iron man swore and rolled back his sleeves.

"Zhu..."

He knew how powerful that lunatic Mu Wanqiu was.

The only S-class in Beizhou...the first deputy of the investigation team that Central City places high hopes on.

"Forget it, don't be as knowledgeable as a crazy woman."

Those who know current affairs are heroes, and Shen Li understands this truth.

He really wanted to fight with that person, but if that person was Mu Wanqiu, forget it... He didn't want to be beaten for nothing.

Gu Shen shook his head and smiled silently.

The two looked at each other.

Shen Li said: "I am willing to be an 'apostle'..."

He paused and repeated.

"I would like to be, your 'apostle'."

Thousands of words in the world can't match a few words of sincerity. Gu Shen envisioned many scenes after this scene happened, but he didn't expect that Shen Li's promise was so straightforward and neat.

Not even the slightest hesitation.

This guy is not smart enough to guess his identity as Pluto in advance.

After the identity was revealed, Shen Li was shocked, stunned, and at a loss.

But facing the position of "Apostle" thrown by Gu Shen, he didn't hesitate at all.

"In the past few years, many people in Nagano have speculated that I am the 'Apostle of Hades'."

The little iron man laughed at himself and said: "Even I sometimes doubt whether I have become an 'apostle'. If it is true, why doesn't the legendary Hades come to me?"

"Now I know that Pluto has always been there."

He looked at Gu Shen with a complicated expression, "So... it all started after the Battle of Gods in the Cemetery?"

"Correct."

Gu Shen no longer hides.

He said softly: "There has never been a Pluto, the previous Pluto... died 20 years ago. After the Battle of the Cemetery, I took over the 'Underworld Fire' and weaved this deception together with Mr. Bai Shu, and deceived the Tower of Origin. They fooled Bright City."

"No wonder……"

Shen Li murmured: "This is how the peace of Dongzhou came to be."

He smiled casually, closed his eyes, opened his arms, and let go of all the guards in his mind, which meant that he would not stop Gu Shen from doing anything to him——

"laugh."

The underworld fire was burning and tumbling, making a slight piercing sound, like a candle that could be extinguished at any time.

There wasn't much of this fire.

Gu Shen gave half of it to Mu Wanqiu who held the crown... Now, there is only a slender wisp left.

"Feel sorry……"

He said softly: "I haven't become a real 'god' yet, so I can only give you a small wisp of ghost fire to prove your identity as an apostle. This wisp of ghost fire is very small and can't do much, even the 'authority' of the apostle of Hades None of them can be used...but this wisp of dark fire is my promise, and you will have a place in the pure land world in the future."

Shen Li scolded with a smile: "Do I care about those people? Hurry up!"

Gu Shen also smiled.

He re-split a strand of the underworld fire that was not much in the first place...

The fire master of the third level of the deep sea chose two apostles, which is unprecedented——

Moreover, the "Underworld Fire" that Gu Shen allocated was more than what he owns now!

He gave five percent to Mu Wanqiu, and one percent to Shen Li, and the rest... was only [-]% of the original Minghuo.

Before inheriting the greater power of "Underworld Fire", he will no longer choose apostles.

Because he really doesn't have a "underworld fire" to separate out.

Looking at the history of the Five Continents, this should be the most sacred...

That tiny strand of black flame embedded in the center of Shen Li's eyebrows, forming a tangled eye pupil, the little iron man frowned, his hair was blown by the strong wind, and the black flame between his eyebrows was constantly struggling and engraved.

He has been recognized by "Pluto"!

The mental space around him began to change, the wind whistled, and Shen Li felt a little bit cold. When he opened his eyes, what he saw... was an extremely majestic and majestic world of ice and snow, with towering ancient trees hanging down billions of green leaves. Yin, wilderness in all directions, one of which has been repaired.

In the flowerbed, moths circled the butterflies, exuding bursts of fragrance of essence.

He came to the Pure Land as the apostle of Hades, and attracted the attention of many souls. Li Qingci, Tie Wu and the others also saw Shen Li's arrival, but what they saw...was a blurry figure shrouded in ice and snow .

"My lord, did you bring someone here to visit again?"

Tie Wu rubbed his chin with a smile in his eyes.

In fact, counting in chronological order, he was the first "apostle" accepted by Gu Shen.

Tie Wu remembers very clearly that back then, he used to call Gu Shen "God Throne", but Gu Shen insisted on calling him "Sir" to his face.

Now he doesn't care about "Apostle" or not, these are all false names...

After "died" by the God of Dionysus, Tie Wu gradually became enlightened in the pure land.

Now all he has left is an empty soul... The only thing he can do is to make the pure land world more majestic and perfect.

As for traveling outside, sharing worries and solving problems for God, he couldn't do it.

Then he couldn't bear the title of "Apostle".

However, in the pure land world, every time Gu Shen's spirit comes down, Tie Wu will call him "God Throne" in his heart. This is something that Gu Shen can't correct no matter how many times...

Di Jiu back then saved his physical body.

But now Gu Shen saved his spirit.

Among these two gods, the one who really made him feel "come alive" was not Dionysus... but Gu Shen.

Therefore, this "God seat" is the name of Tie Wu from the bottom of his heart.

……

……

Above the wilderness, there is a land untouched by ice and snow.

This is the Wugou domain where the souls of the apostles meet Hades. Shen Li saw a slender figure in red armor at the far end of the grass and leaves flying in the wilderness.

"Gu Shen."

Mu Wanqiu didn't call Gu Shen the god seat, she just called him by his first name.

Gu Shen smiled and nodded.

The two were friends, and Gu Shen himself didn't like the "apostle" relationship between superiors and subordinates in the Tower of Origin.

"This is Shen Li, the second apostle in the Pure Land."

Gu Shen introduced Mu Wanqiu.

The latter glanced at the little iron man, and hummed lightly, "I heard."

"Long time."

Shen Li hid his previous behavior of rolling his sleeves well, he smiled and stretched out a hand.

Mu Wanqiu, who seemed as cold as an iceberg, did not reject people thousands of miles away.

She generously stretched out her hand and shook hands with Shen Li, while looking at Gu Shen.

"You seem to be in a hurry to 'call' the apostles...after allocating these ghost fires, is your own enough?"

What Mu Wanqiu said reminded Gu Shen somewhat.

"Enough."

He smiled and said: "It's strange to say... I know that I shouldn't carry out the 'Apostle Call' at this stage, but there is always a bad premonition in the dark, I should do it."

Mu Wanqiu raised her eyebrows: "It sounds very unlucky."

Gu Shen laughed at himself: "Pluto never encounters auspicious things."

"If 'Devil Fire' is not enough, I have more here."

Mu Wanqiu glanced at Shen Li, then looked back at Shen, and said calmly, "At least...more than you. If you need it, I can return it all to you."

"What's this called? Can I take back the 'underworld fire' I sent out and the water I poured out?"

Gu Shen smiled slightly: "Of course, if it's really necessary, I won't be polite to you."

"very good."

Mu Wanqiu never likes to beat around the bush when speaking: "I'm not here to meet the 'Second Apostle', there is one other thing besides the 'Death Fire'."

"There is an outbreak of animal hordes in all directions of Sangzhou Grotto, and [Deep Sea] gave it an A+ risk rating."

The red-armoured woman waved her hand, calling out a mental scene.

Due to the spread of Tanyao volcanic ash.

[Deep Sea] The field of view of the Sangzhou Grottoes is gradually shrinking, and the [Sky Eye] fails on a large scale... The information and data that can be provided at this moment are also very limited.

"The number of these beast spirits has far exceeded the previous estimate of the Underground Research Institute. In the North Cave Forest alone, there are nearly [-] beast spirits running southward."

Mu Wanqiu said solemnly: "In the previous reports of the Sangzhou Grottoes, it has not been found that there are so many beast spirits inhabiting... Even if it is a 'transcendent mutation', these guys are breeding too fast, which is unreasonable."

"It's unreasonable."

Gu Shen squinted his eyes: "Just now, the South Cave was also hit by a wave of beasts..."

"..."

Shen Li thought of what he did after he became gluttonous, and chose to remain silent on this topic.

"They seem to have been stimulated by something."

Mu Wanqiu said: "Such a large-scale animal horde that spreads out from all directions...it's hard to explain it by 'coincidence'."

"There has never been a coincidence in this world."

Gu Shen lowered his eyebrows and said, "Do you still remember the 'baby' that Gu Xiaoman picked up?"

"God baby?"

Mu Wanqiu came to S12 area once.

That time she came to give Gu Shen a "sixth-order source armor", and stayed in the urban area for half an hour.

Gu Shen brought his Crown Holder to visit the mansion of the Neutral, and the baby who was perfect except for his "head".

"This time when the beast tide broke out, there was a mental fluctuation from zero to one in the mind of the 'God Infant'."

The S12 area has been observing the baby god.

As soon as this phenomenon appeared, Qi Mo immediately contacted Gu Shen, and told about Adam along the way... Only then did Gu Shen rush to the forest and stop the [Iron Man] at a critical moment.

Gu Shen followed the instructions carefully: "What does it mean that the divine baby has mental fluctuations?"

Mu Wanqiu murmured: "This 'baby' doesn't really lack spirituality...it has some kind of special ability, maybe it's to summon 'Tan Yao', maybe it's to pull the 'beast tide'..."

No matter which one, "spirit" is needed.

Gu Shen nodded: "Yes, the manifestation of ability activation is the 'spirit' fluctuation."

"Sorry to interrupt..."

At this moment, Shen Li, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke in a very low voice.

His task this time is to guard Adam.

To a certain extent, his mission failed. Even though he killed the Great Winged Sparrow King through gluttony, Adam was nowhere to be seen.

But he had listened to the entire conversation between Adam and Qi Mo earlier.

Including some information about "God Baby".

Shen Li understood everything that should be understood.

Both Gu Shen and Mu Wanqiu looked at the little iron man. The latter scratched his head and asked slowly, "Do you feel... that baby who looks smart and stupid is like an empty shell?"

As soon as these words came out, the wilderness became quiet.

empty shell.

This is a very appropriate and very charming adjective.

Can eat, sleep, and blink.

Can't talk, can't act, can't grow up.

All the data of the divine baby's body tended to be perfect, and this was simply a "divine container" made by heaven.

Because this baby was adopted by Gu Xiaoman a long time ago, and he was taken care of as a family member...so everyone who saw him subconsciously regarded him as a normal "living person".

What Shen Li said at this moment awakened Gu Shen.

Is there a possibility, is it possible for the divine baby...not him, but it.

It's just a shell, a container.

……

……

In the Tanyao volcano.

"Crackling!"

The hot wind roiled, and a scarlet figure landed inside the volcano, stepped on the hard and hot solidified lava, and splashed a bright blood-red flame——

At this moment, only a very weak layer remained of the "Lihuo" domain stretched by the Vermillion Bird Divine Envoy, tightly covering the whole body.

On weekdays, his field can spread a hundred meters!
After comprehending the two layers of domains, they can be superimposed and spread, and then doubled!
But now, with all his strength, he could only cover a thin layer.

On the one hand, there are injuries.

On the other hand, there are too many "ashes" in Tanyao Volcano.

It has been burning here for years, like a copper furnace. From the outside world, it seems that Tan Yao has "remained silent" for more than a hundred years, but the mountain ash inside has never really been extinguished.

Some fires only need a little wind to burn.

"Did I guess wrong... the red dragon is not here?"

Suzaku frowned, he had completely given up using his mental power to explore the way.

As for the "naked eye", let alone count on it.

There are too many mountain ash inside Tan Yao.

The only thing he can rely on is his innate "telepathy". In the scorching environment inside Tan Yao, Suzaku looks around... In fact, what he can see is very limited:
Tens of thousands of layers of ashes were piled up on the ground.

And the inner wall of the volcano that extinguishes, re-ignites, and repeats this process.

This ghostly place is really like a copper furnace, and the flames will turn up from nowhere.

Every second of staying here is a huge consumption of Lihuo Domain!
Fortunately, Suzaku didn't get nothing.

He vaguely felt a slight voice...

"Boom."

"Boom."

The sound was very slight, like drums, more like a beating heart, a floating pulse, in the noisy and noisy volcano, it seemed to be the only clear direction guide.

Here, there are living creatures.

Suzaku took a deep breath, holding the "Li Huo Position Card" tightly, and walked towards the direction of the sound.

The voice was so soft that it was faintly visible.

Once you don't focus, you're lost...

Suzaku walked quickly, for an unknown amount of time, he suddenly felt that the road was unprecedentedly long, but when he looked back, the retreat behind him was covered by flames.

For a moment, he felt that Tan Yao's interior was actually an unpredictable "disaster environment", and it was easy to get in and difficult to get out.

until you look back.

The Road of Ashes has come to an end...

He looked at the scene in front of him in astonishment.

"Boom..."

"Boom..."

"Boom..."

Suzaku reached the finish line, but didn't see the red dragon she wanted to see.

On the volcanic stone wall inside Tan Yao, there is really a heart inlaid, a scarlet heart covered with bloody flames, blooming like an epiphyllum, scarlet and strange.

The sound of powerful drums echoed all around.

The mountain ash was flying, and the ashes were rekindled.
